Logo design is my normal activity when I'm in New York City and this time was no exception. On this business trip to NYC I met with Myron Mixon, a different kind of client, the three time world BBQ champion, to finalize the details of his logo design and website design. But I also got to have some fun too. Just walking through the NYC streets is an adventure and taxi rides are always entertaining but one of my favorite experiences was MoMA, the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. 99% of all tourist places disappoint but MoMA was amazing. My jaw hung open most of my time in the museum. World famous art, after world famous art absolutely blew me away. See the photos….

Vincent van Gogh's Starry Night.
It was actually sloppy, not even finished to the edges. Made me wider if that could be used to give a logo design or website design a more spontaneous feel.

This all reminded me that 'Different is Good", really good.

I was asked to set in at Parsons School of Visual Art and Design in NYC.

 

The school had an energetic vibe. The class discussions revolved around the importance of difference with logo design, website design and brand development. The student brought a naive viewpoint and interjected some interesting thoughts and they could understand the conversation well. The conversation about logo design, website design and development revolved around a set of ideas... All clients have a unique fingerprint, a unique story. Finding what is different with each clients', logo design, website design and brand is the key. Different is good. Different is what gets images, and ideas noticed. Have you ever heard of the same thing, the ordinary, being noteworthy? Have you ever heard someone say, "The logo design was so memorable because it blended into the crowd?" You never will either. Different is what defines one idea from another, one logo from another, one website from another. Different is what makes anything memorable. Different alone will not effect a real change for any business. The key to marketing is finding the white space, defining what a business does best and finding its own unique place in the marketplace. Then defining it in a relevant and engaging way, as in logo design, website design and branding. The young minds full of innocence and excitement and expensive fashions was invigorating and fun to see. I was even impressed with the uniqueness and artistry of some of the students work. Even the simple assignment of a self portrait using a grid seemed to truly inspire some of the students.

The ICM's website design is part of a total branding effort that includes multiple advertising campaigns, employee recruitment materials and a variety of on-line efforts. The website design was developed through a total branding effort that began with the development of a brand platform, brand positioning and a brand promise. We created the website design visuals in coordination with other branding efforts so the entire ICM, Inc. brand communicates the same vital core messages across all brand touch points. The ICM, Inc. website design uses brushed aluminum with subtle layer effects, white space and modern color combinations to project a clear confidence within the biofuel space. ICM, Inc. is the world-wide leader of ethanol plant design, engineering and manufacturing. The brand identity and website design also incorporate actual employee and location photography. These primary elements are the building blocks of the visual brand and of the website design.

ICM, Inc. wanted a website design they manage with multiple departments managing different categories. The average Content Management System (CMS) is a website which focuses on the authoring, editing and publishing of website articles and news. The website design we developed for ICM, Inc. allows our client to do much more. This website design enables ICM, Inc. to manage everything on the website. The articles in a CMS are stored in a database and are displayed in the website the same way photos from a dynamic photo gallery are plus, this website design has a customized client interface that makes it easy and simple to use for inexperienced users. We also include how-to-training-videos as part of the back-end user interface so infrequent users can get help anytime day or night. The advantage is that a CMS site can allow many users (editors, authors, admins etc) to update the websites content through the website itself. This means that a web programmer does not need to be employed every time an article is added. Another feature of Insight Design Communications' CMS platforms are plugins. Plugins allow you to extend the functionality of a website. For example, we installed a dynamic photo gallery plugin making it easy to manage both articles and photos on the website.This website design automatically adjust for mobile devices and functions in multiple languages.ICM takes pride in the fact that their equipment and proprietary technology are used in more ethanol plants currently in operation throughout North America, than any other. Backed by the most aggressive yield, energy, and emissions guarantees in the industry, these plants collectively produce 6.7 billion gallons of ethanol annually. ICM built these plants, and today our comprehensive line includes more than 30 products and services tailored to make all forms of biofuel production more efficient and more profitable than ever.

Armed with cutting-edge engineering and design tools and a relentless pursuit of improvement, the engineers, scientists, craftsmen, and construction management specialists at ICM come to work every day to ensure that the name ICM continues to be synonymous with quality, integrity, service, and innovation . . . not just in North America, but around the globe.
ICM's mission, to provide innovative technologies, solutions and services to sustain agriculture and advance renewable energy, including food and feed technologies that will increase the supply of world protein, reflects their global reach.

Website design and development can be constructed in virtually any look or format but, if you want great search results "different" can be bad. Normally, "different" is good for any kind of design including logo design and website design. 'Different" is what gets your logo design or website design noticed over the compatition. "Different" is what helps your brand connect with consumers in a unique and lasting way. But, search engines like website designs, website architecture and website structures to follow a specific outline. If your website design steps outside of the perscribed search engine ideals your website will suffer in low organic search results. The ideal website design should appear unique in design and relevant in content but also stay within the guidelines search engines prefer. Also, the content of the best website design would include discriptive keyword terms. For example, for a blog that wanted to attract customers in need of website design it should include the term "website design" but even better would be to narrow the search terms. For example the term "website design wichita" would narrow the search from a global one to a local one resulting in more visitors to your website. So "different" is good if it stays within the ideal website design paramitors.

Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design is Tanya herself and a bowl of soup in the same image. The Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design is a visual manifestation or metaphor to show Tanya is the equal of a true artist. Tanya puts herself into her creations, her art, her soup.
In the logo design Tanya's face is the bowl, her mouth is the spoon, her eyes are splashes/droplets and her hair is the steam. All the shapes and lines of this logo where drawn and drawn again then scanned into digital form and re-drawn digitally. All the edges and curves were smoothed and softened to invite the viewer and remind the consumer of how beautifully delicious Tanya's soups really are.
Tanya and the Tanya's Soup Kitchen logo design and brand identity have become interchangeable, recognized as one-in-the-same. All the graphic design in Tanya's brand identity reflects and has become the symbol for Tanya's attitudes and personality. Tanya has become more than a proprietor of  a sheik restaurant, she has become a food goddess and a beacon for sub-culture lifestyles and attitudes. The lines early anticipating a bowl of Tanya's amazing soup often extend from one side of the restaurant to the other and even out of the door. Tanya has become famous in the Wichita area and well know in the highest perches of the food industry.Join the attitude at

Figural logo designs might be the most used in all logo design history. Figural logo designs were most popular in the first half of the 20th century before computers, when drawing skills were highly advanced. Today, a figural logo can be a definite benefit to any brand identity. Here, the figure is used to represent the abstract concept of all artist. The figure is raising up a star which symbolizes the idea of art. The figure raising the star shows the artist hanging his work to share with the world. The confetti and streamers running through the figure and the star symbolizes a celebration in the process of the artist sharing his art. He is raising art and it is that act that also raises spirits. It's a celebration of the uplifting effects of art.
